FOSTER &"ZBRO. 60., OF PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND eoLr SCORE cam) HOLDERApplication ma, December 4, 1930. Serial No. 499,911.

This invention relates tocertain new and useful improvements in golfscore card holders' and has for its primary object to pro-.

vide 'a compact, convenient, inexpensive and simple holder on which thegolf score card and a pencil are secured, and which card and pencil canbe easily and quickly removed as desired.

A further object of the invention is to combine the component parts soas to prevent any accidental displacement thereof;

A still further object of theinvention is to providea device which maybe integrally stamped or formed from a sheet of resilient material.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a front view of the present inventionshowing all the parts in operative position;

Figure 2 is a back view of the device showin the position of the clip;igure 3 is a section on line 3-3 of Figure 1; and

Figure 4 is a top view.

In proceeding according to the present invention a blank is initiallyformed as by stamping, in which all of the component parts areintegrally related and disposed in a single plane; the blank beingcomposed of a frame 1, side wings 5 and outwardly projecting fingers 6and 7. The frame 1 isof substantially rectangular form and is' of amaterial having sprin properties, prefer.- ably sheet metal. Susequently, the sides are bent inwardly to form the'card holding andguiding wings 5, the fingers 6 are bent inwardly and upwardly to formthe resilientpencil holding means 6 and the finger 7 is bent to form thedownwardly extending supporting clip on the rear of the frame.

The score card 2 is retained in position by the side wings 5 whichprevent lateral movement and further by the pressure exerted against itsbottom end by the pencil 3 which thereby prevents any movement of thecard relative to the holding frame.-

The score card 2 is printed so, as to have space for the record of 9holes on each side and hence is reversible in its position. It isobvious that the pencil may be removed for easy positioning of the cardor that it may be left in place and the card forced into position behindit.

The pencil holders or fingers 6, being of resilient material, serve toexert a constant position pressure against the card through the pencil,as well as to hold the pencil firmly in place. t L

The clip 7 on the rear of the .device'enables the user to keep it in anyconvenient place, such as on a belt, the outside of a pocket, or 011 thetop of a golf bag.

It will be readily seen that the present invention embodies a convenientmeans whereby the comparative scores of severalplayers claim as new anddesire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. In a card and pencil holder, aframe formed of a single piece of resilient material,

side wings-integral with the frame, upturned, inwardly extending fingersintegral with said 7 frame at the bottom thereof adapted to retain apencil and exert a positive pressure through saidpencil upon the card,and a downwardly extending clip member at the rear of said frame andintegral therewith. 2. In a golf score card and pencil holder, I a frame.formed of a single piece of resilient material, means carried by saidframe to guide and hold a card, upturned inwardly extending fingersintegralwith said frame at the bottom thereof adapted to retain a penciland exert a positive pressure through said pencil upon the card, andmeans for sup ortin the frame from the clothing or the ike o the player.

In agolf score card and encil holder,- a frame, means carried by saidrame to guide and hold a card, means adj acent-to the bottom ofthe frameand adapted to retain a pencil and to exert a positive pressure throughsald pencil upon the card, and means on the frame whereby said frame maybe supported from the clothing-or the like'of the player.

4. In a golf scorecard and pencil holder, a frame, means carried by saidframe to guide 9 and removably hold a card, and means adjacent to thebottom of the frame and adapted to retain a pencil and to exert apositive pressure through said pencil upon the card.

In testimony whereof I hafie signed my name to this specification.
